Lyrics

Ducking and diving, I'm just surviving
Trouble follows me around and I wonder why
It seems to me that lady luck has gone and passed me by
Now I know that life ain't easy and nothing is for free
But it would be nice that maybe once or twice a little sunshine fell on me

‘Cause I'm living on a knife edge
I'm hanging on
The cut gets deeper
Everywhere I look it seems the road is long
But there's gotta be a patch of blue up in those clouds of grey
So I'll duck and dive and I'll survive
Till the bad times roll away

There’s winners and there’s losers and there's those that's in between
But I can't quite figure where I stand
That's how it's always been
But I'll just keep on hoping that my ship comes sailing in
With a fair wind, I'll be first in line for the good times to begin

‘Cause I'm living on a knife edge
I'm hanging on
The cut gets deeper
Everywhere I look it seems the road is long
But there's gotta be a patch of blue up in those clouds of grey
So I'll duck and dive and I'll survive
Till the bad times roll away

Just when I think I'm doing well, things are looking fine
And there's a ray of hope beating in this old heart of mine
Then like a bolt of lightning
Fate comes and knocks me down
But I'll take the count I'll bounce back up to face another round

Yeah, I'm living on a knife edge
I'm hanging on
The cut gets deeper
Everywhere I look it seems the road is long
But there's gotta be a patch of blue up in those clouds of grey
So I'll duck and dive and I'll survive
Till the bad times roll away
Yes, I'll duck and dive and I’ll survive
Till the bad times roll away
Ducking and diving
